President Obama Is Bus-Proof

People have been trying to throw him under the bus for years now, and the only result has been a junkyard full of broken buses. He's likely to officially endorse Hillary Clinton next week or the week after, and the attempts will begin again. More buses being towed to the scrap yard will be the only result of that.

Thank you for your loyal service, Mr. President!

Eric Holder will be known as the bankers inside man in the history of things. Too big to jail is his legacy.

The TPP is just another corporate con job supported mainly by the GOP and Obama.

He appointed Clinton as SOS who exploited the office for personal gain while advocating for neocon military engagement in many regions.

Did Obama do some great things? Yes. He did. But he's made some very dubious decisions as well....

and watch how quick history throws him under the bus.

He's unquestionably the best president we've had in the past 40 years or so, but you'll have to admit that's a pretty low bar. And unfortunately he didn't live up to his promises.

Her handling of the email, her going behind his back to deal with Blumenthal,
her endangering of his legacy... the list goes on. Obama has said that Libya was
the worst part of his foreign policy. Thanks Hillary.

But I'm equally certain that in private, he can't stand her. There is no doubt that she
double crossed him.
